I have been told to keep a record of what we do, tho I do not know why I was picked. I am not the best at spelling. Corporal: Tick Bell is. I am not the smartest, either. lieutenant: Storng Horn is the smartest in our company. That is why we call him the little professor. And we are doing exactly what we have been doing for some days now, marching, running, dodging bullets above our heads, getting shell shocked, and crossing over no stallions land, oh! and getting our asses kicked by the zebras. And I have one thing to say about the zebras; Fuck Them!... Everything was fine before they got cocky and invaded Equestria; hell Equestria is torn in half, many of their cities gone, taking over, or even Fucking! gased!. Then they got even more BOLD! and invaded Rusha, Germnay, and now US!. Prance didn't ask for this is war, and now where protecting or borders, risking our lives and a thousand miles away from our families, all thanks to those zebras. Thank the goddesses my wife and child are in stable 83 *sniffle* at least I know there safe.... I have to go zebra planes are in bound; they seem to be larger than the last I pray that they aren't caring something to powerful.... Viva la Prance!

(Stable: 83, 245 years latter)

"Paris had always been one of the major tourist destinations in the world before the Great War" Started grandpa."Paris was a leading political, business, and cultural centers with a global influence on the Arts & fashion. Paris I was also world known with it neoclassical architecture & was a home to many museums, art galleries, & historical monuments like the Eiffel Tower". Grandpa reached over to grab a picture in his teeth, before giving it to 5 year old Golden. Then continued his story. "The Eiffel Tower was the symbol of Paris. It was an iron structure erected on the Champ de Mars, beside the Seine River. The stories my father told me said that it stood out against the skyline of the city and looked elegant and alive with four flood lights rotating on the top, which made it visible miles away from the city of Paris....

Just then the door to grandpa's room slid open with a (swish), and my dad trotted in, just getting off work as stable engineer. "Come on son time to go, you don't want grandpa filling up your head with pointless stories from a long dead civilization".

I frowned then proceeded to get up. I turned towards my grandpa and asked. "Will I ever see Paris grandpa?" I looked up at him with a hopeful eyes.

He looked down at me and smiled, patting my head. "Maybe one day."

My dad just rolled his eyes, but I had the biggest grin a little colt could have. I left grandpas that day with a plan for my future and a dream to hope for.

...

(7years later)

"Ok class, turn to page 663 in your Prance history books please." Said Mr. Carton Tale.

We did as we were told. I was in world geography class listening to Mr. Carton telling us the history of Prance. The class room itself was very plain besides old pre war posters and Prench flags that filled up the walls. Looking around the room I could see all my friends and peers but one stood out above the rest, and that was my best friend Cherry Blossom. She had a long Brown Maine and a rich tan coat, but unlike Golden Beret she wasn't a unicorn, she in fact was a earth pony, the prettiest one in the world to Golden. My attention was drawn back towards the teacher as he continued.

"Ok everypony today we will be studying the famous, brilliant tactician, and one of Prances greatest leaders and history, Naypoleon Bonaparte" Mr. Carton cleared his throat before continuing. "Was born in 1769 on the Mareiterranean island of Horseica...."

The lesson went on with the story of this heroic general, rising up through the ranks, over taking the old regime government, and building the Prance Empire which in true didn't last that long; because then he talked about the fall of Naypoleon and how he was exiled to the island of his birth, only to return to Prance one year later with a army of followers, who were quickly defeated.

*Ding*...*Ding*..*Ding*... The bell rang and we all got out of our seats and trotted out of the room. Everypony else made their way back to their homes but Cherry said that she wanted to tell me something in private. I complied and we made our way towards a more private location in the stable. Although I was excited I was also nervous, but in the next few minutes me and cherry were the happiest ponies in stable: 83. And the words "I LOVE YOU!" we're heard screamed and repeated over and over from where me and her held each other close in a hug....

(Six years later)

Me and Cherry Blossom had been dating now for six great years and everything else has been equally wonderful. I got my cutie mark a few days after me and Cherry went on our first date. I was wondering around the stable for no reason, and came across a piece of loose metal sticking out off the wall in one of the many hallways, I was very curious because the metal made by Stable Tec: is of the strongest and most precise in the world. So my curiosity got the better of me and I pulled on the piece of metal with my magic, until I heard a rejoice full *pop* then I looked back up at the wall which now had a definite shape out of it a... Door!....It turned out that, that part of the stable was covered up years ago with paint for no reason at all and was forgotten about, until now. I was rewarded with a party and a very long, passionate kiss from my marefriend. Oh! yeah I'm almost forgetting, I got my cutie mark out of this as well. My cutie mark was and still is today a map and a journal, I'm an adventurer!.....

Yep everything was going good, I have a great life, a awesome marefriend, and a great job in stable: 83. But that's the point I'm in a stable! maybe some pony's can spend their entire lives in this boring, and claustrophobic nightmare of a place! But not me I'm a bird baby and I need to fly. So that's why I'm here now standing before the large metal door of stable: 83.

I pushed the button with my hoof and watched as the large contraption opened for the first time and over 200 years. Taking one last breath of stable air I walked out through the door way.... And into my dreams.

Chapter 1: "I think, there for I am"

("I think, there for i am")

*** *** ***

I slowly walked through the damp and cold cave. I had just walked out of my stable. And a  few minutes later the huge metal door automatically closed shut, taking away the option of going back. Outside the stable door, was a long hollowed out Cave as dark as a rats ass and so I turned on my pipbuck light. I had been in this cave for a while now just trying to find my way out, then in the distance I could make out a faint light. I quickly ran towards it (desperate just to get out) nearly tripping over rocks as I made my way towards it. The light got larger and brighter; as I got closer. Once at the light I looked up and saw a ladder leading towards the light, gently and carefully I pulled myself on to the first stare in the ladder and began climbing making sure that each step wouldn't give out, so with a light tap I checked each step; once I felt that it was safe I continue to climbing.

When I reached the top of the ladder I saw where the light was coming from, a sewer disc. Wait! stable Tec: built are stable in a sewer? either that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, are the smartest. But either way it obviously worked and also obviously! I just walked through 200 year old shit! But back to the topic at hoof, I gently pushed the disc but quickly realized that I would need to add more force to this physical equation (ha ha) so I did so. The disc had needed to be roughly removed thanks to all that rust that build up over the millennia's. But once it was off light what did my eyes, and I needed to drink a few times to get used to my new surroundings. The stable had apparently been built in the middle of a city because all around me I could see long busted street lights, hollowed out buildings pathetic to there former selfs. I lifted myself out of the sewer and brushed my self off with a hoof. One thing came to my mind: "Find Paris" and that's what I set out to do.

I trotted over towards the closest building I saw; "Guns & Defense". I shrugged my shoulders and went inside. The store was empty besides the trash that littered the floor also mold, and rust, everywhere the eye could see. The only light in the room was the light shining through the store frames window which had long then shot out. I moved over to the back of the counter and saw a terminal, to my immense surprise it looked operational? So I begin trying to access it.

...

The store made a killing today thanks to all these nervous ponies,  overreacting because the zebras made some kind of threat to Equestria and her allies which means us. But Prance is perfectly fine we have the Prench royal Legion guard, and even then those zebras wouldn't dare to attack us, its just a bluff. But even so I am raking in the bits, and just to be safe, not that I'm scared! are worried but I merely I am doing this because everypony else is doing it *awkward chuckle*.

But I put a brand new 44. Magnum and the safe underneath the counter with of course plenty of ammo. (not that I'm worried of course).

I got the 44. Magnum out of the safe and the ammo, after looking around the store for any other useful supplies (which I found none of) I made my way outside the store again. looking around it appeared I had two ways to go I could either go up Street where I saw in the distance a large building with a humongous bottle on top of it, or down street where there appeared to be ponys running and shooting at me wait...What!

Indeed there were ponies shooting at me! I quickly to cover behind a wall of the alleyway *Blam* a piece of cobblestone was shot off from the wall by my head. Ok let me think! I'm outnumbered, outgunned, and out skilled that's a fact. But maybe if I=

*Boom!..Boom!..Boom!*

After the barrage of grenades ( at least they sounded like grenades, from my audio files) there was silence....

I moved my head around the corner, and saw only smoke but then it started to fade and slowly trotting towards me we're five stallions dressed in forest camo from there black boots to their outfit. and they all wore red Brett's, with a small Prench flag on the side of their hats. I was still on edge after being attacked for the first time in my life so I pulled my gun close and cocked the firing mechanism. They all apparently heard it because they stopped in her tracks, the one who appeared to be there leader who looked about the same besides a blue Brett, came out and lowered his gun which appear to be a pre war "FAMAS= service rifle" and told the rest of his team to do the same, which they complied. He slowly walked towards me, I instantly lifted my gun at him, he stopped and smiled.

"So this is how you treat your rescuers" the pony asked in a sarcastic tone.

I lowered my gun a bit and asked "Who are you?".

Completely ignoring my question the military styled Pony got closer and complimented my gun "That's a nice 44. you got there, how do you require that gun" he raise an eyebrow almost as if wondering how a pony dressed in a latex suit could get something that great.

But I wasn't about to be ignored "Answer my question first, then I'll answer yours!" I brought my gun up again.

He just laughed and nodded "well ok then, bon giorno my name is Platinum Vienna but you can just call me General: Vienna of the PRL (Prench. Royal. Legion) we are the remains of what's left of the Prench military force.

I waited for him to continue but he didn't I nodded for him to continue but he just shook his head and smiled at me "no.. no we had a deal you next".

I groaned an annoyance but realized he was right, and I am a pony of my word "I got it from that store over there" I tilted my head towards the shop. " it was in a safe and didn't take me long to open".

Vienna raised an eyebrow "You do know that gun stores from the old world have some of the hardest safes to open".

I just shrugged "Wasn't that hard  I open the terminal in there too" I said as if it was nothing. But Vienna eyes widen and surprise so did the rest of his stallions.

"You did! well what was on it"

Now I raised an eyebrow "Well... just an old audio file"

Commander: Viennas face turned to disappointment but smiles all the same "So I'm guessing that you're good terminals and lock picking"

I put my gun back in my saddle bag "Yea that was kind of my things back in the stable".

His interest was restored and a chuckle escaped his lips "That would explain it".

I was in confusion "Explain what?"

He just ignored me and beckoned me to follow him and his troops, they turned around and started trotting off, I followed thim pretty sure that I could trust them and confident that sticking with them was safer then moving alone.... Oh what the hell, I will find Paris later.
